In the Yan Empire, temple battles were in full swing, and the market was full of fun. Xu Duan, a minor official in the court, struggled to survive in the power chess game, but was often controlled by Pei Ke; Liang Wo, a storyteller in the market, used stories to ridicule the chaos in the court and became a comfort to the people; Su Lin, the daughter of an official, was forced to grow up amidst family turmoil and marital disputes, and fought back against the power and destiny; soldier Chang Jiucheng crawled and rolled in the military camp while echoing the common people, and finally became the protagonist of the anecdotes in the city. Three volumes of more than one million words run through the fate of high- and low-level characters, showing the absurd humor, warm humanity, and growth and transformation behind the prosperous days of Yan Dynasty. Power and people's livelihood, laughter and tears, struggle and resistance are intertwined.
